BTS’ J-Hope surprises fans with new tattoos in the latest CORTIS dance challenge video

The rapper-dancer was spotted dancing to GO, the newest song by HYBE's new group CORTIS, who made their debut as BTS' second junior group following TXT in 2019.

BTS member J-Hope has once again set social media abuzz, this time with a new video on his personal TikTok account.

The rapper-dancer was spotted dancing to GO, the newest song by HYBE's new group CORTIS, who made their debut as BTS' second junior group following TXT in 2019. His flawless dancing skills immediately drew attention, but astute fans soon noticed something new: new tattoos on his legs.

J-Hope danced in front of a picturesque backdrop while sporting a casual yet stylish outfit that included sneakers, shorts, white socks and a neon training jacket. However, the ink was the main attraction.

The words "I'm your" and "you're my" were inscribed on his right leg, just below his knee, and "hope" was inscribed on his left leg. His famous opening line, "I'm your hope, you're my hope, I'm J-Hope," was exquisitely finished by the tattoos taken together.

His clever and poignant decision delighted fans, who praised how he made his signature phrase a lasting reminder of who he is and his affiliation with the ARMY. Following confirmation that J-Hope had recently visited celebrity tattoo artist Dr. Woo's Los Angeles studio, the excitement only increased.

When the singer shared a selfie from the studio, fans began to speculate. However, Dr. Woo confirmed it by posting a mirror photo of J-Hope and fellow BTS member V, giving fans their first look at the "hope" tattoo.

In addition to his most recent tattoo, J-Hope is well-known for having a "7" tattoo above his knee, which is a collective symbol used by all seven BTS members to honour their shared history. The "7" was positioned differently by each participant, making it both individual and group-oriented.
